Stoker's
Submarine~Fred Brenchley, Elizabeth Brenchley
On April 25 1915, the day the Anzacs landed at Gallipoli, Lt Commander
Henry Gordon Stoker set out as captain of the Australian submarine AE2
on
a mission to navigate the Dardanelles Strait. That Stoker managed to find
a way through the narrow Dardanelles against unknown current, mines and
withering enemy fire has been described as "the finest feat in submarine
history". Stoker's achievment meant much in military terms, but even more
emotionally in boosting the morale of the embattled Allied troops. This
text tells the story of a remarkable naval hero.
